Yes and no. The eduroam WiFi network is part of the Münchner Wissenschaftsnetz (MWN). This means you’ll have access to services that are only available through the MWN.
- If you’re at an eduroam hotspot operated by the LRZ in Munich, you’ll usually have automatic access to the Münchner Wissenschaftsnetz.
- Otherwise, you’ll need to connect to the MWN separately using a VPN client.
You can find additional FAQs on the LRZ website.
